Genoa, the complaint of the fishermen of the dock: “thefts and vandalism on boats” – Primocanale.it
GENOA – Thefts, vandalism and fear for their own safety. Daniela Borriello, president of the Ligurian Fishermen Association, concessionaire of the fishermen’s quay of Calata Vignoso in Darsena in Genoa, and Head of Coldiretti Impresa Pesca Liguria, raises the safety alarm on boats.
“As already happened in the past – he writes in a note -, the presence of people not involved in the work on the pier and on the floating docks below calata Vignoso has become more pressing, with repeated unpleasant episodes involving both boats and structures in the area. Several people intent on loitering even in areas where access would be forbidden got on the boats to steal equipment, they took over the tents in the fish lab area to make their own comfortable and, recently, they even finished accessing the Darsena market by breaking the glass “.
“In all these cases, fortunately, major damage was averted thanks to the presence in the area of some fishermen, who, however, rightly fear for their own safety as well. The situation is unsustainable “added Borriello. Fishermen also denounce that” numerous reports to 112 and to the city institutions “have” remained unanswered and “unfortunately the situation is still the same”.
“If we want an activity like this to be maintained in the city center – continues Borriello – it is necessary to protect it. In addition to constant patrols, the area must therefore be continuously manned by the police: before any tragedy occurs, a permanent presence must be set up in the area, which maintains order and security in the dock area “.
